Nothing is more annoying than preparing for a great gaming session and getting slapped with an error that stops you from playing. One that’s been making the rounds on the Finals is the tfla0002 Code.
In this guide, I’ll try to explain what the tfla0002 Error Code is in The Finals.
How to fix Error Code tfla0002 in The Finals
Unfortunately, there’s been no official correspondence regarding the Error Code and no fix that will solve the problem for everyone. That said, here’s a list of solutions to try:

Turn your VPN on/off
Several users have reported that their VPNs are causing matchmaking problems with The Finals. If you use a VPN, you can try switching the region or turning it off entirely.
If you must play with a VPN, I recommend trying a few nearby regions to see if the error code remains consistent. I’ve seen multiple users mention that they had to use a VPN to access The Finals. While this shouldn’t be necessary and brings problems of its own for online gaming, it may be worth turning your VPN on if you have one.
Make sure you’re playing the full release of The Finals
As The Finals had an open beta not too long ago, ensure you’ve downloaded the full release and are playing on that. Multiple users have reported that the beta is still accessible but brings up an error code.
If you participated in the beta, I recommend uninstalling it along with the full release. Once you’ve done that, reinstall The Finals from the store to ensure you’re playing the correct version.
Ensure your PC drivers are up to date
This is a PC-specific solution, but check your drivers and ensure they are current. Out-of-date drivers are a common cause of issues with online games. Double-check GeForce Experience for any pending updates if you have an NVIDIA Graphics Card.
Check the time is correct on your system
This is an odd solution, but I’ve seen some users report that the clocks on their PCs were out of sync, and repairing this fixed the problem. If you’re having this issue on Windows, type ‘Settings’ into the search bar at the bottom left of the screen. Then, enter the ‘Time & Language’ menu and ensure ‘set the time automatically’ is turned on.
Power cycle your Router
As this Error Code affects matchmaking, and we know VPNs can affect it, I recommend Power Cycling your Router. To do this, unplug your Router and wait for at least a minute before turning it back on. Wait a few minutes for your Router to start before trying The Finals again.
Wait for an update
I hate recommending players just ‘wait,’ as I know how frustrating it is when you want to play, but this may be your only option if the solutions above don’t work. The tfla0002 Error Code is affecting enough users that the developers are aware of it. Hopefully, it can be fixed with a regular update.
